Otello: March 31 - April 7, 2007

Otello
Opera Lyra Ottawa
National Art Centre, Ottawa

March 31 - April 7, 2007
Jealousy, ambition and hate are the dark forces at play in Otello, Verdi's gripping masterpiece. This emotionally charged opera recounts the infamous tale of Otello, the Venetian army's heroic Moorish General who loses his honour and his mind when he succumbs to the wicked, duplicitous schemes of Iago, one of history's most depraved villains. Iago displays both brilliance and brutality as he ensnares Desdemona, Otello's fair and devoted wife, into his calculated quest to exact vengeance upon the man he believes has robbed him of military glory and might. Sung in Italian, with English and French Surtitles

Audi and Lang Lang

Chinese piano virtuoso Lang Lang will be touring the USA from February through June 2007 with his personal transport at all venues being premium Audi vehicles.

Follow the link for information on concert dates and details as well as music samples and other multimedia. More... Lang Lang's latest album, Dragon Songs, recently released by Deutsche Grammophon, aims to make the rich and colorful Chinese musical heritage more widely known. After his first public performance of the album at New York's Asia Society on Monday, January 29, Lang Lang joined a select group of guests at the Audi Forum NYC for a launch party, treating them to an impromptu recital. The album includes a DVD documenting Lang Lang's recent tour of China. More... To ensure you continue to receive eNewsletters from Audi, please place audi@audiusa.chtah.com in your address book.
